Blue and White China in the Garden

After two days of cold rain, this morning the skies cleared and the sun came shining into our little cottage. I did the happy dance on my way out to run some errands :)

I only needed to go a couple of places, but my path took me right by the thrift store. I walked in, spied this pretty china, and was out in a matter of minutes.

Of course these pretty pieces needed to come home with me. We are having a very special birthday celebration here next weekend, and I had already decided on a theme of blue and white to decorate our back patio, in the hopes that we will have nice weather and be able to sit outside.

Sometimes, all it takes is a few dollars and some creativity to create the special look we are wanting.

I am enjoying all of your beautiful flowers today! We had an ice storm here this morning, so I am happy to see some signs of spring. The flowers look great in the china pieces. I hope the weather is good for your party!
